reuse bottles or buy new?

This might be a crazy question, but are ya'll reusing past bottles or buying new? My son is 5 1/2 and i still have all the bottles i used with him that were purchased in 2006. They are Playtex Ventair, and i was going to sterilize them in my church's dish washer.

I would just make sure your bottles are BPA free. We are going to reuse our bottles (from 2009) but are getting new nipples. Our bottles are BPA free...but a friend of mine is getting all new bottles since hers are from 2006 & not BPA free!

I have just a few from my DD#1 who was born in 2009, but I'll buy new for this baby. I wouldn't really recommend using ones from 2006 just because of the BPA factor. They've changed a lot of things since then.

We got some new bottles this time because I wanted to try the drop ins but I will probably use some of DD's as well and just get new nipples for them. We have Dr. Brown's from DD and they are a pain in the arse but if this baby has any belly issues then we will try them again. DD just ended up liking the basic gerber bottles so we have a lot of those and as long as this baby likes them I will reuse them too.

My last Lo was born in 2008 and I dont do bottles after 1yr old ... So I got rid of them all... we have bought all new bottles. However if you choice to reuse I'd recommend what the other moms say get all new nipples. Good Luck
